Northern Metropolitan Region
Sheena WATT (Northern Metropolitan) (12:52): My constituency question is for the Minister for Consumer Affairs in the other place. Across Melbourne’s north, cost of living remains front of mind for many locals. Whether it is families juggling school drop-offs or people who rely on their car for essential appointments, fuel costs are a regular and unavoidable part of the weekly budget. People want certainty at the pump, not sudden spikes or confusing price cycles. That is why the introduction of the new Servo Saver feature in the Service Victoria app has been a welcome change. Having real-time petrol prices at their fingertips means people can compare fuel costs quickly and make choices that save hundreds of dollars per year. People in my community have said it is already taking some pressure off their weekly costs. It is simple and reliable, and it gives them clearer choices at the pump throughout the day, which I know is a welcome announcement. My question for the minister is: what is the next phase of the fair fuel plan? What can they expect? How will it help motorists, including those in the Northern Metropolitan Region, to better manage fuel costs right into the future?
